Features in non-GA stages are tagged as such in the\ndocumentation with icons and notes.\n\nExperimental\n------------\n\nExperiments are focused on getting customer feedback about a prototype. They are\nnot intended for production use or covered by any SLA, support obligation, or\ndeprecation policy and might be subject to backward-incompatible changes.\nExperimental releases are generally suitable for use in test environments only\nand typically last up to 12 months, but this may vary.\n\nExperimental is a pre-GA offering whose terms and conditions are defined in the\nGoogle Maps Platform Service Specific Terms under\n[Pre-GA Offerings](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/maps-service-terms#9.-pre-ga-offerings).\n| This \"Experimental\" icon, along with an accompanying note, indicates Experimental features in documentation.\n\nPreview\n-------\n\nAt Preview, a product or feature is ready for testing by customers before\nadopting it for production use at GA. Preview offerings are often publicly\nannounced, but are not necessarily feature-complete, and Google provides no SLAs\nor technical support commitments for these. Unless stated otherwise by Google,\nPreview offerings are intended for use in test environments only. Subject to the\nterms described below, features in Preview are typically expected to reach GA\nwithin 12 months, but this may vary.\n\nPreview is a pre-GA offering whose terms and conditions are defined in the Google Maps Platform Service Specific Terms under\n[Pre-GA Offerings](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/maps-service-terms#9.-pre-ga-offerings).\n| This \"Preview\" icon, along with an accompanying note, indicates Preview features in documentation.\n\nGeneral Availability (GA)\n-------------------------\n\nGeneral Availability products and features are \"production ready,\" though not\nalways universally available. Some GA releases may only be available to a\nlimited group of customers. General Availability releases are covered by the\n[Google Maps Platform Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/),\nincluding the\n[Google Maps Platform SLA](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/sla)\nand\n[Google Maps Platform Technical Support Services Guidelines](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/tssg),\nwhere applicable. Google typically supports General Availability products and\nfeatures through APIs, SDKs, and the Google Cloud Console, except in unusual\ncircumstances where providing one or more of the foregoing capabilities is\nunreasonable in the context of the particular product or feature.\n\nEarly Access, Alpha, and Beta\n-----------------------------\n\nSome products or artifacts, such as client SDKs and the Maps JavaScript API, deliver pre-GA releases under industry-standard\n[stability levels](https://google.aip.dev/181), such as \"alpha\" and\n\"beta\" channels. See the Maps JavaScript API\n[Versioning](/maps/documentation/javascript/versions) topic as an example. Also,\nGoogle Maps Platform SDKs for Android and iOS may use version numbers that\ncontain an industry-standard stability level such as \"beta\" in the version\nnumbering, such as `v3.1.0-beta`.\n\nSome products and features that were released prior to the introduction of\n\"Experimental\" and \"Preview\" may be labeled with legacy launch stages such as\n\"Early Access,\" \"Alpha,\" and \"Beta.\" Those legacy terms will continue to be used\nfor the duration of those launches. In general, Early Access and Alpha are\nsimilar to Experimental, and Beta is similar to Preview. Any use of an Early\nAccess, Alpha, or Beta is subject to the terms and conditions defined in the\n[Google Maps Platform Service Specific Terms](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/maps-service-terms).\n\nAdditional life cycle stages\n----------------------------\n\n### Legacy\n\nLegacy is an intermediate lifecycle step to ease the transition between\nGenerally Available services and Deprecated services.\n\n- Legacy-marked services may not be available in new Cloud projects.\n- Legacy-marked services will be officially feature frozen, and new feature requests will only be considered for updated non-Legacy services.\n- Legacy-marked services will retain full support.\n- Existing projects already using Legacy services can continue to do so.\n\n Subject to the [Google Maps Platform Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms)\n Deprecation Policy, we will provide at least a 12-month\n notice prior to the decommission of the services.\n\nFor a list of legacy products, see the Google Maps Platform\n[Legacy products](/maps/legacy#active_services_with_legacy_status) topic.\n\n### Deprecated\n\nMarking an offering deprecated indicates that the product, feature, or version\nshould no longer be used. For more information, see the \"Deprecation Policy\"\nsection of the\n[Google Maps Platform Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/).\nFeatures and products in the Google Maps Core Services listed at\n\u003chttps://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/maps-deprecation\u003e\nare subject to the Deprecation Policy.\n\nFor a list of deprecated products and features, see the Google Maps Platform\n[Deprecations](/maps/deprecations) topic.\n| This \"Deprecated\" icon, along with an accompanying note, indicates Deprecated features in documentation.\n\n### Decommissioned\n\nDecommissioning an offering means that the product or feature is no longer\navailable. Calling decommissioned software can result in unpredictable behavior\nor invalid responses.\n\nDecommissioned offerings are removed from documentation. For a list of\ndecommissioned offerings, see the Google Maps Platform\n[Deprecations](/maps/deprecations#completed_deprecations) topic."]]
